When pressed on whether the country was safer under a Biden presidency, FBI Director Christopher Wray took an extended pause, sitting silently before indirectly answering the question.
FBI Director Christopher Wray went silent Tuesday when questioned over whether the country was safer since President Biden took office. 'Is the United States safer from foreign terror threats today? Are we safer than when Joe Biden took office — from the day he took office?' Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., asked Wray during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing. Wray took an extended pause, sitting silently and appearing to be in deep thought before finally answering.
What I would say to you is that the terror threats have elevated. But I also think there are a lot of things the country has done throughout law enforcement to be better prepared to deal with them,' he said, not directly saying whether the country had become safer under Biden's watch. 'I asked FBI Director Wray a simple question: is the U.S.
The reality is that the terrorism threat has been elevated throughout 2023, but the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States to a whole other level,' Wray said. Hamas launched a deadly terrorist attack against Israel on Oct. 7, leading to a military response from the U.S. ally. The conflict has renewed concern in the U.S.
